After the plane accident in 1993, the president of South Sudan's passport was found.
The passport of Salva Kiir, the president of South Sudan, who perished in an aircraft crash in 1993, has been given to some people in Kenya.
Together with the luggage of the other passengers who were on board the aircraft when the tragedy occurred in the Baringo region of northwest Kenya, the family retained the travel paperwork for thirty years.
South Sudan's minister in charge of the presidential palace, Barnaba Benjamin, was in charge of the delegation that was presented Mr. Kiir's travel documents and a piece of handcrafted jewelry during the ceremony.
Mr. Kiir was in charge of the army at the time of the accident.
There were five passengers on board, including the pilot, two Norwegian citizens, his lifeguards, a British citizen who perished in the crash, and two Norwegian citizens.
The villagers responded to the disaster by saving those who were still breathing and escorting those who were trapped beneath the plane's debris to the hospital.
The nation's government said that as a token of appreciation, a hospital will be built in the village and named after the army head.
The accident site will develop into a significant location for the nation and a popular tourist attraction.
